Seeing the Unseen

We were given task to make a flowchart on ' How to Isolate Fungi' during our previous class. During this week class, we discussed and evaluate other groups flow charts. Some of us wrote flowcharts on how to isolate fungi in ocean, bread mold and many more. This is our group flowchart on how to isolate tropical fungi

Hi peeps! 😊 For our first microbiology class, we were briefed about topics that we are going to learn throughout this second semester generally. And of course, more upcoming projects that we have during this sem. We were divided into new groups and assigned with specific microorganisms for each group. I am in group Fungi 🍄 During the second class of the class, we were given a task to construct a mind map about Microbial Systematic in Fungi. We swapped our mind map with other groups and jotted down things or information that were not stated in the mind map yet. This activity help us to share informations and improved among each other. This semester will be a long and tiring as we have a lot of assignments and lab reports 😪😴  But we will boost up our energy to go through this semester really well and excellenty! 💪

Hi everyone ☺ So this is the last week of our first semester. We learned about the Microbial Metabolism and Nutritional Requirements of Microorganisms. And also for this week, we had the Three Minute Talk (3MT) for our SCL session. The title for the 3MT is ' Adopt a Microbe'. This project help us to gain more knowledge about other microbes as there are like tons of them. We managed to share information that we gathered among each other and we learned about so many new things that are very interesting. So for the 3MT, I had choose a bioluminescence bacteria as it really catches my attraction about these bacteria. For me, they are very unique and intere4sting to explore about.   I focused on the bioluminescence bacteria that contain in the anglerfish esca. So basically, the anglerfish gets their food in interesting way with the help of bioluminescence bacteria which is also known as mutualistic symbiotic relationship. This ugly deep fish has a long manoeuvrable lure on t...

It was a very hectic week for all of us. Well, last weeks of the semester. We have few presentations going on, and the highlight of the week is MINIC 2017 ( Microbes Invention Innovation and Ideation Challenge). I have wrote about the MINIC on my other post. Do check em out :) During this week lectures, we learned about two new topic which are ' The Disinfectant and Sanitation' and ' Microbial Growth'. Both of the topic are very important, it is same as the theory of basic technique but addtition of informations. Also, this is the last week of our lab session for the first semester. We managed to do few quizzes among the groups as a revision for our final test. I would like to show my gratitudes and thanks to Dr Adelene, Dr Fairol, our demos and of course our lab assistants ☺❤

Class trip ☺ Since Dr Wan is away to Sydney, we have our class trip to Institut Biosains (IBS). This is a place where post graduate students do their research. The main reasons we went there was to learn more about electron microscopy.  There, we were introduced and explained about the process that are taken in order to prepare the samples for the observation under electron microscopy later. Some of the staffs were assigned to explained to us. We have opportunities to see few electron microscope such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and etc. I was very amazed by the micrograph that appeared at the computer screen.  Transmission Electron Microscope

Microbiology During the class for this week, we learned about a new topic which is the 'Virus, Viriods and Prions'  

Microbiology On this week lecture, we learned about the Kingdom Protists
